1t is apparent from these figures, taken
from the records on file in the State
House, that instead of the last legisla
ture being the most extravagant it was
that of 1885, as the Republicans have
always insisted To the taxpayers of
Ohio it is evident who have been the
most reckless in dealing with the funds
of the State. 1t was the administration
of Hoadly. which left the Treasury bank
rupt and with an OverdrawG account,
which mismanaged the Peniten;iary un-
der the guidance of the present Demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor, and which plunged the State into
a series of reckless and foolish expendi>
lures have constantly been embarrassed.
General" Powell has sought to cover
this bad showing by stating that Hoad-
ly's administration was called upon for
unusual expenditures, among other
things the Cincinnati riots and large
sums to repair the canals, but this is
more than cOunterbalanced by the
amounts appropriated by subsequent
Republican legislature to place troops at
Cincinnati the second year blowing,
and by the appropriations granted the
canals, the State fair grounds, AID the
Northwestern Ohio Insane Asylum and
still the total amount was kept over
100000 within the limit reached by the
Democracy. General Powell is prob
ably an expert at figures when the MAJ
nipulation of Doodle is necessary, but be
has either gathered very superficial
idea of State financial matters or is a
novice in garbling figures. The fact
remains indisputable that the Demo-
cratic legislature of 1885 was the most
recklessly prohigate of the peoples

Ireland is not the only land where there
is a struggle for liberty. In England,
France, Germany and every other civil
ized country the people are demanding
and receiving recognition and voice in
government. Their inspiration has been
impaired by our achievements. We
have thrown the beaming rays of liberty
around the globe.
Gettysburg was more, therefore, than
mere battle. Ii was more than the
turning point of great war. 1t was an
epoch in the history of the world-a
growing triumph for the human race.
There are other reasons that eudesr
this place to the American heart. Here
was fought the greatest single combat
of the war. On no other field was there
such equality of numbers or more
distinguished display of American v2l'
or. Almost every State of the Union
was here represented. The blood of all
the sections was here commingled
YoDder lie Reynolds and the brave men
who fell and sleep with him, and here
Lincoln stood and made speech as inn
mortal as his own undying fame. Veri-
ly, this is cODsecrated ground. Through
out all the ages until time shall be DO

otic sacrifice and human welfare shall
be appreciated, this will be hallowed

The Land-Grant Policy.

Whatever Democratic stumpers touch
now seems 80 turn to nettles in their
hands. Powell and other kids are en-
deavoriDg to make point against the
Republican party by claiming that gov
ernment grant of lands to railroads were
inaugurated nnder Republican rule,
whereas the records show that the ex-
act opposite is the truth, that the sys-
tenn of land grants was begun when the
Democratic party was in full sway, and
that more than forty of these grants
were made before the Republican party
was born. SO that the argument in the
mouths of Democratic stumpers is false
as it is contemplate aud mean.
The land grant policy was inaugural
ed by the Democratic party, was CON-
tinued under Republican sscendency
with the general approval of Democrats
and Republicans alike, and was at the
time believed by honorable and patriotic
men of all parties to be necessary foI
the development of the republic and for
the best interests of the people. That
there was occasional reckltssness and
imprudence in making the grants there
is little doubt but both parties were re-
sponsiole for those, and to the general
policy is due the rapid opening up and
settlement OF mighty areas which other
wise would today be bowling and UNI
broken wildernesses. The building OF
the railroads was the only thing that
gave value to any of the lands and ena-
bled hundreds of thousands OF people to
avail themselves of the benefits of that
beneficent homestead system whose for
mutation and enactment into law was
one of the grandest achievements Of the
Republican party.
In the light of the history and work.

To Tell the Age Of u Horse.

To tell the age of any horse,
Inspect the lower jaw, of course;
The six front teeth the tale will tell,
And every doubt and fear dispel.
Two middle 'nippers' you behold
Before the colt is two weeks old;
Before eight weeks two more will come
Eight months the corners cut the gum
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year;
In two years, from the second pair;
In three, the corners, too, are bare.
At two the middle 'nipper' drop.
At three the second pair can't stop;
When four years old the third pair goes,
At five a full new set be shows.
The deep black spots will pass from view
at six years from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years,
At eight the spot each corner clears.
From middle 'nippers' upper jaw
At nine the black spots will withdraw;
The second pair at ten are white;
Eleven finds the corners light.
As time goes Oh, the horsemen know,
The oval teeth three sided grow;
They longer get. project before
Till twenty, when we know no more.

YEAR after year the amount of wool
produced in this country is growing
smaller while the amount of wool i'm
ported from foreign countries is steadily
increasing. The wool clip last year
was 100000 pounds less than in 1885,
while the quantity of wool imported in
1886 was 70,751 $50 pounds, or more
than double the amount imported in
1882. At the present rate America will
soon be wholly dependent on foreign
lands for this staple and one of her
great industries will be practically wip+
ed out. No true American can look
forward with indifference to that state
of things. Every man, we take it,fsrm-
er or not, and regardless of all political
Considerations, would prefer to see the
wool>growing industry restored to its
former prosperity and America freed
from depenpence on foreign countries
for the clothes she wears. So far as
Ohio is concerned the issue is sQuarely
joined. The Republican party is pledg>
ed to encourage and promote the home
production of wool ;the Democratic par
ty, to encourage and promote the impor-
tation of wool. AS the prosperity of the
state is the prosperity of the individual,
it should not take intelligent men long
to decide with which party their inter-
ests lie.

Courtesy at Home

If there is any spot where the ameni-
ties of life should be freely exchanged, it
is at home. Courtesy should be the rule,
not the exception. 1t prevents jarring.
lit dissipates moodiness, it heals wounds,
it ennobles human nature. 1t is won-
derfnl in its subduing influences. 1t is
contagious. 1t extends to the entire
household. The boys, with inward pride
over their fathers courteous demeanor,
will be chivalreus and helpful to their
younger sisters. The girls will initiate
their mother in gentleness an patience,
even when big brothers are noisy and
needless. Even the domesties will show
their appreciation.
1t seems strange that a man will speak
more rudely to his wife than any other
lady; or that brother will be harsh to
his sister, while to her lady frieGd he is
respectful-perfect gentleman in socie>
ty. but Doors within their own homes
1t is sad commentary to say that some.
nay many, mothers, wives and sisters
are indebted for most of the politeness
shown them to those who are not mems
bers of the household.
Family ties are designed to make us
sociable. We ore not gregarious. We
were not made to live alone. We must
have heap of emoers to have a glow
ing fire; if we scatter them, they will
flicker and die. In the same way, if we
want to live healthy and vigorous life.
we must have group of lives to afford
comfort, encouragement and support.
Courtesy is mighty in its influence to
glorify the home and to benefit the
world; yet fathers and mothers are care
less and Indifferent. and allow day after
day of opportunities to go by. Let US
remember that life is made up of mo
ments, and that a succession of we'll
spent moments make up a well-spent
|life.-Good Housekeeping.

A PROMINENT member of the Tam

he estimates at $4,000 in the State. The
signs of the times are ominous for De-
mocracy in the Empire state. The Pro-
hibition drain upon Republican strength
is to be more than offset by the inroads
which the "labor" parties will make up
on the Democratic vote, and that means

Powell Weak on Finances.

The mora General" Powell's Hamil-
ton speeck is aualyZed. the palmer it
becomes that his knowledge of State
finances is either lameBtably week, or
else he has chosen to willfully pervert
and distort them to create false impress
sions. In the course of his speech Gen
eral" Powell complained of the "proflit
gate expenditures" of the last legisla-
ture, and undertook to demonstrate that
it was more extravagant than any pre-
ceding Assembly. He tried to clineh
his statement by quoting remark made
by the Hon. Seth W. Brow Republi
can Representative from Warren county
on the floor of the House during the
winter session that "at the present rate,
it will be said. and said truthfully of
this legislature. that it was not only
more extravsgant than its Democratic
predecessor, but the most recklessly ex-
travagant body that ever assembled in
the State of Ohio"
In communication % the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette Mr.. Brown calls the
attention of General" Powell to the
fact that the present rate" to which he
referred was checked so perceptibly
that the actual amount of appropria
tiOns, instead of being than those of any
preceding legislature, as General Pow
ell endeavored to make it appear, were
considerably below those of the Demo-
cratic legislatures of preceding years.
In confirmation of this fact Mr.. Brown
submits the following table of figures,
the general fund by the legislatures of
the past thirteen years:
